[BlindHandyMan] air compressor

2010-05-09 Thread Art Rizzino
I agree that it is a very good practice to drain the condensation out of the 
compressor tank .

  Hi,
  do I take it you don't drain the condensation out of the compressor?
  I have been doing this every time I turn it off. Not sure if this is 
  necessary but a lot of water comes out at times.

in another room so it wouldn't be so noisy. I just have a switch to tern it on 
and off in the shop, I never see the regulator at all.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Quick Step Floating Flooring

2010-05-09 Thread clifford
Dear Ray:
We put down laminate flooring in our kitchen and din  two months ago, and 
the most difficult 
 problem we had was working around the door trim, as removing it all together 
was not practical.  We ended up using a thin hand saw and laying it on top of a 
piece of the flooring and then cutting off the bottom end of the trim.  It was 
still a bear  of a job.  We found out quickly that the laminate flooring will 
not stand up to chairs sliding, unless plenty of felt is applied to the bottom 
of the chairs.  This notion to replace our plush warm carpet, in the din, and 
solid vinyl  in the kitchen, was entirely the idea of the first wife.  
Good luck with your project.  
Yours Truly,

Clifford Wilson

Hi All

We are about to have put down in our lounge hall dining and kitchen areas
46 square metres of quick step white ash floating flooring.

This white ash colour is deceptive because it is not white as the colour
suggests.

What I have to do is remove all furniture carpets underlay and vinyl and all
mouldings around the walls at floor level.

I might have to remove the ply under the vinyl also but until I remove the
carpet and vinyl and have a feel at the difference in height I am not sure
just yet.

Then remove the carpet tension hooks around the walls so the floating floor
can fit up to the sheet rock.

I also have to remove the dishwasher for the flooring goes under this as
well as the refrigerator.

Then after the floor goes in put back on the floor moulding.

The difficult part is removing this wood moulding without damaging it for it
is nailed on and we have to reuse it.

I am going to screw it back on so if I have to remove it to replace any
damaged sections in the future this process will be a little easier.

Where the flooring buts up to the kicks in the kitchen we are going to stain
the moulding the same colour as the kicks.

We have to then put on stick on felt pads on the bottoms of all chairs and
furniture so damage from usage is kept as low as possible.

So there is plenty of work ahead.

I have included the URL for those who would like to read up on this
flooring.

I have had an air compressor for a while now and never had any trouble 
using my nail guns. I have three, a framing gun what they call a brad gun and a 
middle size one. If the gun is not shooting hard enough tern up the pressure 
some. I also have many other pneumatic tools and just connect them and go. In 
fact, when I built my shop I ran p v c pipe thru the wall and put my compressor

Hi all,
does anybody own a Triton router Table?
I have recently purchased one and am having a little problem working out

If anybody does I really could use some help.
Thanks,
